As we reported earlier, Intel has announced a new Xeon MP server processors today. This CPU is the first server processor based on Pentium 4 architecture, intended for the use on four-processor and even more powerful servers. Although Xeon MP is based on 0.18-micron Foster MP core and has a 256 KB L2 cache (versus 512 KB cache in normal Xeon (Prestonia)), Xeon MP provides higher performance in server tasks due to an L3-cache with a 512 KB or a 1 MB size.

New processors have 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 GHz frequencies, work with a 400-MHz bus, and support Hyper-Threading technology. Intel recommends ServerWorks GC-HE with a dual-channel DDR SDRAM and PCI-X bus, to be used as a chipset for the new Xeon MP.

Xeon MP prices:

1.6GHz (1MB L3) - $3692
1.5GHz (512KB L3) - $1980
1.4GHz (512KB L3) - $1177

The next representatives of the Xeon MP line are to be expected only in the fourth quarter. By that time processors with a 0.13-micron Gallatin core, 2 GHz frequency and a 1 or 2 MB L3 cache are to be presented.
